"I don't think I've ever heard a bad cover of a Springsteen song."


  

          

Not that I've tried to search out bad ones. I'm sure they exist.

But I think the plethora of good covers show how (often deceptively) strong his songs are.

Unfortunately can't find the video of John Legend on Fallon, but here's another live rendition of his for Dancing in the Dark. But the Roots version is incredible:

Basia Bulat - Glory Days. Man this is some cool instrumentation.

Johnny Cash - I'm on Fire

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Philadelphia.

Aidan Moffat- Another stripped down version.

Dar Williams: Highway Patrolman. Sentimental favorite. Years ago, my girlfriend played this and it made me reevaluate my position on Springsteen. One of my favorite stories in song ever.

Boiled in Lead doing 'State Trooper.' It's pretty brutally heavy, esp. considering BiL is a 'folk' act. Don't have an online link for you but can email it to you if'n you like.

I guess I need to edit my post title now. Although that is some timeless synth work.
